Field's metal

 
Low melting point alloys of indium, bismuth and tin
Near eutectic alloys of indium, bismuth and tin
Chemical formula: alloy of in, Bi and Sn
Atomic number:/
Series: Alloy
Appearance: Silver close to eutectic alloy
Mass fraction of soil layer:/
Physical state: solid (at room temperature)
Density:/
Melting point: about. 62 ° C



The field's metal is used as casting metal to monitor temperature, as a conductive medium, and as a heating and cooling fluid. Because it can wet glass in liquid, it can also be used as solder for glass.
In general, it can be used as a non-toxic substitute for cadmium containing "wood metal" melted at 73-77 ° C. One drawback here is the price, due to the high content of indium.
